Printed blouse with studs, ponte blazer, studded slipper

I haven't done much shopping recently. My closest store is almost 3 hours away and online shopping has only been available for about a year in the U.S. Their website leaves a little to be desired in terms of helpful information, but as my attention has wandered away recently, I decided to try on a few items . The printed blouse with studs caught my eye because of its beautiful colors.
I loved the print in person - it's a little less vibrant than what was online, but the fit was similar in a size S. The little studs on the shoulders are a light gold color. I was tempted to keep it, but I didn't like the feel of the polyester fabric and I think the price is too much for polyester. I would absolutely buy it at a lower price though.
Next is the Ponte di Roma blazer with elbow patches in black. I was looking for a basic black blazer with a bit more length to be worn with slim pants. This one is a nice basic. I liked the weight of the fabric. I could do without the elbow patches, but they're not that noticeable in black. I tried the S and M and both were a little slim in the waist. The shoulders and bust fit really well in the S so I opted for that size and plan to wear it open.
I recently fell in love with these Loeffler Randall Blaise smoking flats and a close dupe in the studded slipper in black
I bought the Loeffler Randall shoes (L) and the shoes (R) to compare. The Loeffler Randall flats were my favorites hands down - very beautiful in person. I ended up ordering them through Piperlime with enough coupon codes, rewards coupons, and cash back to bring the price down, which is a lot for a somewhat impractical shoe, but I couldn't help it because it was love at first sight!
